September Gnus T-Shirt

The very first foray into Gnuswear was this shirt, and I made a
hundred copies. I had originally planned on just doing fifty
shirts (because I didn't think I was going to sell any more),
but a hundred shirts cost just slightly (for some values of
"slightly") more than fifty, so I went for broke and did a
hundred, with images of my peddling the shirts on street corners
flashing before my eyes. "Buy some shirts, sir? Lovely shirts!
Gnus shirts! Cheap! Almost free! Buy some?"

They sold out within three days of me getting them.

By then I was so tired of packing (I folded them thrice
lengthwise, I rolled them up and then rolled them into brown
paper; a cheap, light and resistant-to-enraged-postal-workers
way of packing, but it got boring after a while) that I didn't
bother ordering any more.

The shirts were only available in one color -- yellowish ink on
black shirts, as sported by our model here.

All the money raised by this shirt went into the Buy Lars More
CDs Because He Can Never Have Enough Fund, which was cleared out
after just a couple of days. But those were glorious days!

I'm a bit iffy on the date we did this, but I believe that it
was the summer of '96. I remember that I dreamed up the shirt
the summer before on a bus in Geneva. (I was doing some stuff
on my masters thesis (that I've yet to finish) at CERN that
summer.) Well, to be precise, I thought about doing a (ding)
Gnus t-shirt, but after the usual delays, (ding) Gnus was
history and September Gnus was it, so a September Gnus t-shirt
it was.
